"Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:22. Our faith is our assurance of our relationship with God. Our union with God is not based upon a maybe or a perhaps, but we are assured of our union with Him. We are able to draw near unto God. We do not approach Him from afar. Neither is He far from us. Faith is the bridge that links our hearts with the heart of God. Also, we have assurance because of our cleansing. No longer do we entertain an evil conscience, but we are purged. We have also been washed in baptism. Purged from evil and cleansed from iniquity assures us that we can approach God. The faith of assurance is an obedient faith. Our faith responds eagerly and without hesitation to God's law and will for our lives. Our willingness to do as God asks assures us that we walk with God and that God walks with us.
